The Dream Daughter Book Review #ReadtheDream

Last month, I was given the opportunity to read a new book, called The Dream Daughter, as I stated in the picture above---it was an emotional rollercoaster!!! Let me tell you more about the book.  Title: The Dream Daughter by Diane Chamberlain  Author's previous works:   author of the New York Times Bestselling Hit, The Silent Sister Genre: Fictional  Book's release date: 10/2/18 Here is the synopsis from Amazon: When Carly Sears, a young woman widowed by the Vietnam war, receives the news that her unborn baby girl has a heart defect, she is devastated. It is 1970, and she is told that nothing can be done to help her child. But her brother-in-law, a physicist with a mysterious past, tells her that perhaps there is a way to save her baby. What he suggests is something that will shatter every preconceived notion that Carly has. Something that will require a kind of strength and courage she never knew existed. Something that will mean an unimagi

BOCOTUBE Women's Casual Floral Dress Review

I have a new pretty dress to show you guys! I reviewed a Bocotube dress a few posts ago, and was given the opportunity to review another one that is equally as nice.  I had the choice between red and black with flowers and I chose the red one.  Here is what it looks like: Details on this dress: -Cotton and polyester -Lightweight  -Round neck -Long sleeves -Pleated design  -Has pockets -Flowy design  -Empire waist It is amazingly comfortable. It’s a little big on me, but a belt helps it fit just right. I love the fact that it has pockets too! Who doesn't love a dress with pockets, right? I think it’s great for casual events in the fall and winter, but could be dressed up with accessories for fancier events. Get this dress here  As I stated at the beginning of this post, it is also available in black. #bocotube  # floraldress   # dress   # unbiasedreview

#QueenContacts White Mesh Spooky Lens Review

Alright, my favorite time of the year is right around the corner, so I thought it would be fun to get a little spooky... Look at my creepy new lenses from, you guessed it---  QueenContacts ! ( Read my last review on Skinny Hezle Violet lenses ) These are called White Mesh I LOOOOVVVEEE the look of these lenses. Yes, I know--they are not for everyday wear. They are just perfect for photos though! I think they would be nice not only for some fun photo ops, but also for special events, that are particularly Halloween themed.  I don't really recommend these lenses for people who are driving, or walking around much in dim lighting, unless  you are only wearing one. I say this because they do cause a bit of vision distortion.  The best way that I can describe it is that you might feel as though you are looking through a deep fog... Details on these lenses Boo!!!!! These lenses were just so much fun to play around with, and definitely went well with

#QueenContacts Skinny Hezle Violet Lens Review

When I first started wearing contact lenses many, many years ago, the first color that I picked was violet. I LOVED it. It was different and oh so pretty. Yes, it was dramatic, but I loved it. Unless you're Elizabeth Taylor's doppelganger, then violet is probably not your natural hue. These lenses that I am sharing with you guys right now, from QueenContacts , are called Skinny Hezle Violet. Yes, another shade from the Skinny Hezle line. ( Read my review on the last lenses I received right here. ) Here are my violet lenses Details Diameter: 14.5 mm Base Curve: 8.8 mm Lasts 12 months Free lens case comes with the lenses.  Available in blue, brown, grey, green, and pink too. Aren't they such a dreamy shade? Not too over the top, blends in with any eye color.  I like that they have that limbal ring and the way they blend in with the brown in my eyes. They may be violet, but don't look super fake when they are in. In dim

#QueenContacts Skinny Hezle Blue Lens Review

So, yes I reviewed a beautiful pair of blue lenses from QueenContacts in my last post, but I have another pair of blue ones to show you all. (Read about my  Caroline Blue lenses here). These are from the Skinny Hezle line, which is so far my favorite line of lenses from this site.  Details Diameter:14.5 mm Base curve: 8.8 mm Lasts 12 months  Comes with free lens case. As with all of their lenses, it cost a super low price too!  The Skinny Hezle lenses are available in violet, brown, pink, grey, and green as well. Look at that blue! The shade is a bit subtle, and more realistic than my other blue lenses. These lenses are amazingly comfortable. Queencontacts has lenses of all colors and designs—Plano, prescription, and toric available.  Get Skinny Hezle Blue lenses here By the way, I made a comparison video showing all of my lenses that I reviewed this month: Here is my video review Connect with QueenContacts Fa

Magefy False Lash Review

Welcome back to my blog, guys! I have a new product to share with you all.  This one is beauty related. Do you like false lashes? I have naturally long, curled lashes, but I occasionally like to wear them. I especially like to on days when I just don't feel like wearing mascara.  Check out this set of 10 from Magefy .  Comes with 5 sets of DIFFERENT lashes, in each box. This pack also includes a pair of steel tweezers which are to be used during application. Why use them? Well, if you're like myself, and are not a false lash pro, then they can definitely come in handy! I have found that they help me sit the lash onto my real lash a lot easier.  I have only used a couple of the lashes from the set. What I chose to do was cut them at either end, so that they can fit onto my lashes a bit better, and look more natural. The picture above shows one of the lashes when applied. Pretty lashes right? I think so! Yes, you can lightly wash them and set the

Here they are: Details  Diameter: 14.5 mm Base Curve: 8.8 mm Lasts 6-12 months Available in blue, green, pink, gray, brown, and violet Gorgeous blue flowers! And they definitely stand out when worn.  There is a noticeable enlargement in my eyes, as you can see.  Not as comfortable as my Skinny Hezle lenses, but not bad at all. I love how different they are. They totally get stares from people passing by. QueenContacts has so, so many lenses!! I always have trouble deciding which pairs to wear because they are all so unique and gorgeous! There’s a shade and design for everyone, and for all

I Love My #MAANGE Makeup Brush Cleaning Kit

I have more makeup brushes than I can count these days. I love playing around with them and trying to do different things with each brush. The not so fun part is having to clean them. I was never very good at cleaning them as often as possible, but ever since I started using cleaning mats, special cleaners, and other products that make cleaning brushes easier and less of a pain in the butt, I've gotten so much better. I have a really nice cleaning kit that I started using a few days ago. It is by #MAANGE , which is a company that makes a ton of really good beauty products, many of which I have had the chance to actually try out.  This is what my cleaning kit looks like: The kit includes: *Pink cleaning mat *Metal tin with cleaning sponge *Brush drying tower I LOVE everything in this kit!! The tower holds up to 26 brushes of various sizes. For regular brushes, you should hang them upside down to dry so you won't ruin the glued part of the handle. Also, y
